New NOW TV box available with Ethernet

One of the downsides of the original NOW TV box was that it only supported
Wi-Fi, which with the increasing Wi-Fi congestion in urban areas could lead to
buffering and stuttering no matter how fast your connection. A few months after
news about the new boxes was first seen Sky now has its new NOW TV box available
for purchase that also has an Ethernet connection available for purchase at
£14.99.

The new box also runs at 1080p, though the NOW TV feeds for now are still
720p, you also get a faster processor, USB socket and micro SD slot.

If you are going to subscribe to some NOW TV content, be it the
Entertainment, Sports of Movies there are some offers that can save 14% to 29%
on buying everything individually. Existing NOW TV customers can buy a box with
passes and the coupon codes when used simply extend your viewing period.

You can still side load plex on it and watch at 1080p :)

It's perhaps worth noting that the new black NOW TV box only has an HDMI output, it does not have an analogue A/V output (L/R audio plus composite video) which the old box had - so there's no plugging the new box into older TVs that don't have an HDMI input.

Or you can just leave Virgin and get the whole sky for like £20 a month.

I gather the average Sky user has to pay £55/month for the service, if that's not a rip off...
